I know the world is ending and all, but I lost my dog tonight.

[Mojambo]

RIP - "Lucky"

16 years old, a terrier mutt and a hell of a friend.

I wanted to post a picture of her, but I just found out my digital camera's batteries are dead. What a crappy day.

Not even Colbert can make me smile tonight.

1. I'm sorry for your loss

Pets are precious to their families. Take the time you need to mourn for Lucky. :hug:

[Mojambo]

3. Thanks. Gonna be tough to sleep without her there.

I'm so used to that snoring at the foot of my bed.

[zonkers]

2. 16 years. Hard to beat that. Old Lucky had a good run and knew she

was loved, no doubt. Peace.

[Mojambo]

7. That she was. Thanks. n/t

4. My dear Mojambo!

I can scarcely express my sorrow at your situation!

I am soooo sorry about the death of your beloved dog........

I hope that you will be able to remember the good times.........

For that which is remembered, lives....

:hug:

[Mojambo]

10. Thanks Peggy.

Trying to remember the good times. It does help.

It was pure serendipity that we even got her. We literally found her in a wicker basket at the post office 16 years ago. Took us about 2 seconds to welcome her to the family.

5. So sorry for your loss, Mojambo....

...so very sorry... :hug:

[Mojambo]

11. Thanks very much.

That means a lot.

6. My dog died last month

So I understand. :(

So sorry.

[Mojambo]

13. It's no fun. Here's to our little lost friends.

:toast:

8. I hope you had time for a final run and a grand goodbye.

I love my pets so much. It's always a bad day when one of them leaves the family forever.

:hug:

[Mojambo]

14. Not really. Happened while I was at work

We had a little sit down last night though. She wasn't moving around well enough for a run.

[riderinthestorm]

22. Oh I am so sorry.

I lost my terrier last spring....

Peace to you tonight.

[RevCheesehead]

9. I'm so very sorry.

May Lucky rest in peace... and you were indeed lucky to have her as your friend for 16 long years.

:hug:

[Mojambo]

15. Took me from my teens to my 30's

Pretty big chunk of my life. She was always there.

Thanks, Rev.

12. I am so sorry my friend....

That is so hard. RIP Lucky, and my condolences to you. :grouphug:

[Mojambo]

17. Thanks Mike

This thread (and all of you) have really helped me.

:grouphug:

[BlueIris]

16. Oh. I'm so sorry.

My cat disappeared last week and is presumed deceased, so I totally feel your pet-loss pain.

[Mojambo]

18. So sorry to hear about your cat

About the only thing that I can imagine would be worse than a pet dying is for a pet to be lost.

Hope you're hanging in there okay.

[BlueIris]

24. Thanks. Yeah, it's hard.

At this point, I would rather find out that he had died than continue to wonder where he is, especially considering how many pets have been disappearing in our area. He was such a great cat. And we live out in the middle of nowhere. Never thought anything like this could happen.

[KT2000]

19. I'm so sorry

Friend is right.
Peace to you Mojambo - you must have been a good friend to her too considering her long life.
Do post a pic when you get the battery situation fixed.

[Mojambo]

20. I certainly will.

And thank you.

[SOteric]

21. I'm so very sorry on the loss of your dear little friend.

There is perhaps nothing so touching in life as the purity of their devotion and the way their eyes 'come to get us' in joyful greeting. :hug: I like to think our departed fuzzy little companions still walk with us when they've moved on.

[Mojambo]

23. I used to throw these great houseparties

And she was always the hit of the party. People would show up asking, "Where's Lucky!"

Won't be the same without her climbing from lap to lap and spilling everyone's drinks.

[Dangerously Amused]

25. So sorry for your loss.

May you find peace in the knowledge that you gave her a long and happy life full of comfort and love.


A hug for you:



A candle for sweet Lucky:

[Mojambo]

26. Thanks so much. n/t

[lavenderdiva]

27. oh, Mojambo, I am so very sorry to hear of Lucky's passing..

it so very hard to lose our dear furry friends. Our sweet Emma passed away about 4 months ago, so I can understand your sorrow. I hope you will be able to sleep tonight. I am sending you lots of hugs: :hug:

[enigmatic]

28. Oh man, I'm sorry

:hug:

[grasswire]

29. what was nature thinking....

....to have dogs and cats live such shorter lives than humans? Each one we lose is almost too much to bear. They give us so much, so very much. About all we can do is find another one to shelter and love in return. Another poor creature awaits your care, probably.

Take care of yourself, too.

30. i'm so sorry friend

31. I'm very sorry.

Dogs In Heaven?

An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so they walked on. They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven" he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him. The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you."

"What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If he can't come in, then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't desert him now."

"Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you anything, but the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road."

So the old man and dog went on. They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. "S'cuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?"

"Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable"

"You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed anywhere."

"Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?"

"No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in.
We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too, and that's final."

The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."

"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?"

"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but then it's too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"
